WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – The US city of Chicago has begun evicting migrants from shelters after months of delay in a haphazard manner, NBC reported on Tuesday.
There are 11,253 migrants across 23 shelters in the city while a total of 37,308 individuals arrived in Chicago since 2022 after Texas governor Greg Abbott began busing migrants to several Democrat-run cities in the country, according to the report.
City authorities expect to evict about 2,026 migrants by the end of April, but there is a chance that some of them will get extensions to stay in shelters due to a long list of exemptions, the report added.
Fox News reported last week that evicted migrants will be housed in a specially equipped area on the outskirts of Chicago, which will serve as a temporary shelter. They will be able to reapply for a bed at the city shelter, the report added.
